Right behind him, the masked, black-clad demonic expert from Prince Gao's Manor vanished from everyone's sight. When he reappeared, he was already at the ancestor's flank, sharp, concentrated inner qi gathering along his pitch-black knife-hand as he slashed at the vulnerable throat!
The other two late transforming force realm experts attacked from either side, their force surging like a tide as they sealed off every route of escape for Azure Elixir Ancestor! He could only meet these attacks head-on.
Azure Elixir Ancestor's pupils abruptly contracted, boundless horror surging through his heart.
He had lived for over a hundred years and guarded the Azure Elixir Sect for many of them. He had ranged north and south, crossing hands with countless powerful foes, yet never had he felt such suffocating pressure!
Against two opponents of his own realm, he could still hold his own for a while.

The difference was not merely additive-it was absolute, crushing suppression!
And every killing move was sharp and vicious. They had clearly come with the intent to take his life outright.
Azure Elixir Ancestor gritted his teeth and mustered a lifetime's cultivation. His azure-gold astral qi formed a thick protective barrier as he forcibly weathered the four attackers' combined strike.
Crack-!!

The terrifying shock waves of force slammed into his body.
Pfft-! Azure Elixir Ancestor shuddered violently, agonizing pain ripping through his chest as he sprayed a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs!
He hurtled dozens of meters backward through the air. His Daoist robes burst apart, the flesh of his chest split open
